Exegesis
The protasis is signaled by the conditional particle ean {ἐὰν | e-án} ‘if’ plus the subjunctive verb kataginōskē {καταγινώσκῃ | ka-ta-gi-nṓ-skē} ‘condemn’ with the negative particle mē {μὴ | mḕ} ‘not’, describing the scenario in which the heart does not bring judgment.
In context — 1 John 3:21
Beloved, if our heart does not find fault with us, we maintain steadfast confidence before God .
